According to Deadline.com, Harmon got a raise to $500K per episode and will get an Executive Producer credit in his new deal. Good for him. One of the very few stars who deserve it.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

What are the financial perks of being the Executive Producer ?

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

I don't know what you mean by financial perks, but he's now making $12M for 24 episodes a season and now has more creative input in the show being an Executive Producer. I think that's a perk already. Most Actors who get Producer/Executive Producer credits are just Vanity titles. Since this show really can't exist without Harmon, I think it's more than a Vanity title.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

I think they get more money from syndication rights and DVD sales with an EP credit. That's no small chunk of change when considering how well NCIS fares in syndication.

I wouldn't say it's one of my absolute favorite shows, but I really get a kick out of how well NCIS does in the ratings. It's nowhere close to struggling, so I don't feel the need to root for it to get these great ratings, but it's staggering to see a show continue to peak in popularity nearly week by week so far into its run.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

How much has he/will make from the series? 100M+ ?

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

The show is in its eighth season, so I'm sure he'll go well past 100M, and that doesn't even include his cut from syndication.

So Sheen will have made more than 2x the current net worth of Hugh Hefner. Dam.

And blown most of it on coke and whores.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

Coke and whores cant possibly cost millions...

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

Depends on the quality of the coke.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

...and the whores. $1000/night adds up pretty fast.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

Assuming coke also costs $1000/night, it would take approx three years to go through 2M if done every night (which I assume he does not).

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

A high end call girl isn't $1000/night. For the type of women he probably demands, think somewhere between $5000 - $10,000 per night.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

so they get Scott Lawrence to play a guest role and it isn't Sturgis Turner?
WTF?

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

Had to look him up (never watched JAG), but you're right, odd they didn't go that route. Of course, same actors appear as different characters across the Law & Order universe.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

McGee (forgot his real name) played a different character on JAG.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

was nice to see Kate again in the flashbacks, just hated seeing her take a bullet again.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

Did anyone notice that they left out the CGI blood spatter when they showed her get shot?

Did anyone else have a problem with the relative of a deceased team member being brought in to give the team its psych review? Way too convenient and no way that it would be allowed.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

Yeah, forgot about that.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

Chedwiggen's girl friend's son IIRC
but that was prior to NCIS being spun off from JAG

although other than the episode of JAG that spun off NCIS I don't think the two series ever crossed paths again so I guess it's not a huge deal

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

The actor, Sean Murray, is actually the step-son of the producer for both series, Donald Bellisario. His mother played the unnamed red head who was occasionally shown with Gibbs in the early years of the show.

Bellisario's son Micheal played Bud's little brother Mike on JAG and Abby's psycho lab assistant on NCIS.

As a viewer who generally likes Gibbs, I found him to be a complete ass last night. He's always walked all over the Director and pushed people around, but his treatment of the new girl in the interrogation scene was a new low. Usually they justify it by having the person he's offending deserve it in some way, perhaps by being incompetent or having the gall to be almost as egotistical as Gibbs himself. But I didn't see that last night. Sure, E.J. tried to take over the case, but it was her case. If Gibbs was 3 murders into a serial killer case he sure as hell wouldn't cede control to whoever had jurisdiction over the 3rd case. And his rule about not sleeping with people on his team is quite hypocritical considering his past.

Unfortunately, since Gibbs is always right, I'm sure we will find out that she's just sleeping with Tony to manipulate him, or she's plotting in some other way. Hell, she might even turn out to be the p2p killer.

I was expecting Ziva's new bf to be involved somehow.

Re: NCIS -- The 8th season thread -- Tuesday's on CBS
 

They've screwed with Ziva's relationships so much I just don't see them going there with this guy.

I really didn't get Ziva's reaction to the revelation he was working with EJ and NCIS on the case. Ziva wasn't even connected to the p2p case, so why would she suspect he was using her/it was all fake/etc? I kind of understood asking if he had slept with EJ, because it might explain why he didn't tell Ziva he was working with her.
